Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Product Description

A perennial bestseller after nearly two decades, SEX TIPS FOR GIRLS raised the bar for cultural humorist-critics. Now Cynthia Heimel weighs in with a sequel full of observations wry, sassy, raunchy and wise. Giving the proverbial book of love a much needed rewrite, ADVANCED SEX TIPS FOR GIRLS finds Cynthia Heimel in peak form, doling out deadpan sass and wry wit in equal measure, and revealing much more about her personal life than ever before. Whether she's tackling the vital issues of our times with trademark acuity (what's so funny about a guy in a dress? what are boundary issues?); crafting a reverent hymn to the canine set ('My angel, Homer'); or looking back with hard won perspective on the last half century (The 1960s, Still a Problem for the Chicks?') Heimel more than lives up to her reputation as today's answer to Dorothy Parker. The essays in ADVANCED SEX TIPS FOR GIRLS offer founts of brilliant barbs, refreshing candor, and generation spanning humour.

OK, not quite -- where Woody is hung up about sex, Heimel has it figured out enough to give the rest of us neurotics a few pointers. While she's mellowed a little bit since the first Sex Tips, she's still clearly crazy and wonderfully funny about it.

Once upon a time this author was brilliant and I would have done almost anything to read her in print. No longer fresh, she rests upon her laurels and seems rather bitter for it.

This must be a sign of the final straw in the fight between commercialism and normalcy. The Publisher's Weekly review couldn't be more wrong. While there is material here that will remind the reader of other of Heimel's columns and books, the attentive and thoughtful reader will realize that this book too represents what all the other have: a courageousness not found among very many to rail against what the rest of us accept without question on a day-to-day basis. Heimel reminds us again and without apology that women are human, that people are by and large the same if they can get outside of what they are in the habit of believing to be true. This book is an installement in a life story, not a hip coffee table book published to sate the attention span of the average teenager. While it still is both (a testament to Heimel's genius, and what makes her so valuable as a cultural expert) mature readers should not rate this book on whether or not it offers us something modern, but on its ability to provoke thought, and change.

This book is hillarious. I would recommend it to any woman married or single. It makes you laugh out loud. I am sure most women can relate to what Cynthia Heimel tells you about life and romance. Buy this today, you will be laughing out loud!

I love Cynthia Heimel and think this book is yet another wonderful addition to her collection...a more mature Sex Tips for Girls...and still a good dose of the famous Heimel wit.
